== Notes and version constraints ==
* Exact firmware/driver version not specified; older systems may require additional configuration.
* The tuning-file path example uses an IMX219 NOIR file; for IMX378 a custom file may be needed.
* For binocular setups, cam0/cam1 assignment must match the physical ports exactly.
* No price, availability, warranty, or certification details are provided in the source; these values must be confirmed by the manufacturer.
